Continuing on with the goody bags. Pinterest several food items,
and most you know that I like to put fun creations instead of toys. I found PacMan Dots Tube idea on Festa Teen and had to do for the party! I kept mine a little simpler to make the 20 I needed. Another HUGE shout out to KandyKreations for these amazing PacMan tents.
This is one of the BEST sites I've come across for party needs and she
has a ton of FREE downloads which makes this mom very happy!

I took the Extra Large Marshmallows and took some food coloring with a little water to coat them I used yellow, purple and blue. After they dried I added the candy eyes. I found the royal icing is the best due to it acts like glue (a lot of ppl use it for gingerbread houses). After the eyes are harden onto the marshmallows I then put them in a clear plastic treat bag.

I downloaded PacMan Font from DaFont,
this is my go to place for font's. Now her tents were made to make a
tent. I copied and put into a word doc to give me 8 per sheet. Since I
was putting on the top of bags I didn't need to fold over or extra
paper. PLUS I'm cheap and like to maximize my paper to the fullest .

I looked high and low for small white gum balls. I kept finding bags with multiple colors which then I would have to waste other colors. So I went with mini marshmallows that were cheaper. I took the tubes and placed mini marshmallows standing up to look like the dots in the tube. For the strips I took my paper cutter to cut the black strips that were the size of the tube. I took my hole punch to white card stock to make the dots the PacMan eat. I used my cricut to make small circles. I took my scissors to cut out the mouth, and took a sharpie to make the eye. I took a glue stick to place the white dots on the black strip. I then took the glue stick to glue on the PacMan. Once dry I took the glue gun to attach to the tube.

so the staple holds the bag shut!
